Vancouver Whitecaps got a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake. The Columbus Crew beat the Montréal Impact 2-0, and the Colorado Rapids tied 1-1 with the SJ Earthquakes. The Houston Dynamo beat the Chicago Fire 2-0, and the LA Galaxy won 4-0 at home against the NY Red Bulls.

Upcoming Schedule

The first game of the next round will be between the Philadelphia Union and the NE Revolution. Then, DC United will play Sporting KC, and the NY Red Bulls will play the Houston Dynamo. The Vancouver Whitecaps will play FC Dallas, and the NE Revolution will host the Columbus Crew. The LA Galaxy will play Toronto FC, and the Portland Timbers will travel to play the SJ Earthquakes. The Colorado Rapids will host the Seattle Sounders, and the Chicago Fire will play the Montréal Impact. Chivas USA will then play Real Salt Lake.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities and games to get lots of points. One player that I think would be a good choice is Obafemi Martins. He got seventeen points against Chivas USA, and the Colorado Rapids are winless in ten games. I think that he'll get lots of points against them. Another player to look at would be Landon Donovan. He got 21 points against the NY Red Bulls, and he just needs one more assist to break the all-time assists record! I think that he'll get goals and/or assists at home against Toronto FC. One more player to look at is Fanendo Adi on the Portland Timbers. He's been in good form lately. It's crazy that he's worth only $6.1 million, and only 2.4% of managers own him. He'd be a good player to get for little money. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.
